Unshift is a weird word for the weird method of the four. You’ve got a list. To use it as a stack you push and pop. To use it as a queue you push and shift. Unshift is the weird one.

The demos look really choppy on iOS.

Looks like they’re only charging him for the mosque thing where they traced his call. Presumably they can’t rule out the accounts being a larger ring of swatters. It does make you wonder that they traced the call after he had supposedly don

Kanye West did a music video with wax figures of nude celebrities including Taylor Swift and that had barely any backlash. Is it because he’s known as an artist? The price of the recreation? The way it’s distributed? Is creating fake images

Yeah, it’s exponentiating pi with itself, not multiplying. Tetration that is. I’ll toss in this StandUpMaths video about it too. https://youtu.be/BdHFLfv-ThQ?si=9KypSkX5dbTOck-v

Seems like the main negative utility it created is people like you deciding it’s more important than the concept of comparing potential outcomes for how good they are. > And if it does this to him, what’s it going to do to us? Is this se

It exists in a hyperbolic space. So the area reachable in radius r is not r^2, but x^r for some x>1. It doesn’t violate the triangle inequality, but it does mean that there’s way more than one parallel line through a given point off an i

The downvotes, I guess, are because this is kind of a silly concern. Steamers do rude things all the time, but that’s not a good reason to change the law to prevent everyone from doing the thing that seems rude in that case.

Nope, just attach the cable to the last bit of the robot to be grown. It’ll be pulled along with it until the cable runs through the length of the whole robot.

A middle ground that’s particularly easy to think about is chisanbop. Each hand shows a base 10 digit where thumbs are 5 and the others are 1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chisanbop

It seems like it doesn’t hold since this relies on turning the whole thing into a piecewise linear function.

If you extend the `catch` matching to compound values this isn’t even that bad. let fizzbuzz = func(fizzbuzz, x, max) { try { hurl [x % 3, x % 5]; } catch ([ true, true]) { print("FizzBuzz"); } cat

It’d be less annoying if it weren’t so dumb. It won’t admit to being an AI and I got it to tell me its prompt first try: The first thing said in this document was, "Pretend that you are having a conversation with a friend. Your name is

Maybe I'm missing something because you and the author seem to agree, but I think schools are moving toward test-optional applications, not test-ignored. So it still could show that a student is excelling. Right?

That problem sounds just like when I write tests for my own code. I don’t know if it’s totally avoidable.

If you assume some notion of an object's description "really existing", it's easy to then assume the Universe must have a zero information description, since otherwise the description would be "outside" the Uni

It was surprising at the time, too.

If you like the greyscale and use an iPhone, you can set it up with color filters and toggle it with the power button in accessibility shortcuts.

Sure, there's a pretty reasonable answer about regex flavors with recursive extensions and how that makes them non-regular, which transitions nicely into a discussion of why you should just use a standard parser.

This makes total sense, it really just means that the time it takes to compile JSON.parse on a string literal is offset by how much simpler and faster parsing a JSON object is than a js one.

This is a version of Tetris in which random pieces appear, not the classic version where all 7 of the pieces appear in a shuffled order over and over.

Absolutely! Enumerating the neighbors of an element of a list by definition requires bounds checking. It's not more elegant to instead do some extra additions with numbers known to be 0 at compile time. Represent the question faithfull

Split brain patients will often have one half of their brain invent explanations for why the other half did something. The explaining half believes these explanations to be true. Which suggests pretty heavily that even the decisions that hu
